This study focuses on Academician Shi Yunyu, one of the earliest scholars in China to engage in biomolecular dynamics simulation and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy research on the structure and dynamics of biomolecules. Through literature analysis, archival research, and oral history interviews, this research delineates the significant achievements of Academician Shi in the fields of computational biology, protein structure, dynamics, and functional research, as well as epigenetic regulation and aging. It details her efforts in team formation, securing major research projects, mentoring junior scholars, and leading the development of her institute and academic discipline. The study reconstructs her academic growth and contributions. By examining the interplay of personal factors and the social environment, this study discusses the influences that shaped Shi Yunyu into an distinguished scientist, offering insights for the academic community and society on fostering an agreeable academic atmosphere and research environment.
